The New, Disease-Resistant 
Madonna Lilies 
Out of the West—land of enchantment, comes a 
| fabulous new group of hardy lilies—plants bursting 
with vigor, full of rugged health that will be the 
highlight of your garden. Graceful or bold, soft- 
colored or brilliant, in brazen giants with vibrant 
colors or small, refined and in modest white—they 
come for every purpose and taste and in all shapes 
and sizes, 
These glorious new lilies were grown for you in 
Oregon, on the slopes of lovely Mount Hood. Order 
them now; select a spot for them in the garden— 
sunny, well-drained and if possible with a humus- 
rich, deep, porous soil. The bulbs will be shipped 
with their full root-system intact, as living plants, 
direct from our grower to you. 
Why buy lilies the mail-order way? Because they 
are living plants. Unlike the tulips and hyacinths 
that are fully dormant for months, lilies never 
sleep. They should be planted back with the least 
possible delay. 
THREE RELATED LILIES—AMABILE - PUMILUM - CON- 
COLOR .... three of each, $3.00; nine of each, $8.50; thirty-six of 
each, $30.00. Three little lilies originally from China and Japan. Am- 
abile is a rich lacquer-red and the largest of this group. Pumilum is the 
smallest and the earliest, with lovely coral-colored bells. Concolor is 
star-shaped, upright flowering and from two to three feet tall. 
From our fertile mountain slopes in Oregon to your 
garden they come, packed in damp peat moss, just 
as fast as the mails will carry them. Usually har- 
vested and packed the day they are shipped, they 
will be “ull of vigor, ready to grow in your garden.
